GH-900 Exam Dumps - GitHub Foundations

In GitHub, issues and pull requests (PRs) are essential tools for managing work and collaboration in a project. Assigning individuals to these issues or PRs is a way to indicate responsibility for addressing the issue or completing the PR.

Anyone with write permissions to the repository:

Users who have write permissions to a repository can be assigned to issues and pull requests. Write permissions allow users to push changes to the repository, create branches, and modify issues and pull requests. Assigning them to an issue or PR ensures they are recognized as responsible for the task.

Anyone who has commented on the Issue or pull request:

GitHub allows you to assign issues or pull requests to users who have already engaged with the discussion by commenting on it. This feature is particularly useful for quickly assigning tasks to those who are already involved in the conversation.

Incorrect Options:

Option A is incorrect because having an enterprise GitHub account alone does not necessarily grant the ability to be assigned to issues or PRs. Permission to assign is based on repository-specific roles and permissions.

Option C is incorrect because not all personal GitHub accounts can be assigned to issues or PRs. The user needs either write permissions to the repository or must have commented on the issue or PR.

The primary purpose of creating a security policy in a GitHub repository is to guide users and contributors on how to report security vulnerabilities in a responsible and secure manner. This policy outlines the preferred method of communication, timelines, and any other pertinent information related to handling security issues.

Security Policy:

Option C is correct because a security policy provides guidelines for responsibly disclosing security vulnerabilities. This helps maintainers respond to and address security concerns promptly and securely, thereby protecting the project and its users.

Incorrect Options:

Option A is incorrect because ensuring peer code review is a best practice for code quality, but it is not the primary purpose of a security policy.

Option B is incorrect because push protection for secrets is managed through repository settings, not the security policy.

Option D is incorrect because customizing Dependabot configuration is related to dependency management, not directly to security policies.

Pull requests (PRs) on GitHub can have several statuses that indicate their current state in the development and review process:

Draft:

Option A is correct. A pull request can be in a "Draft" status, indicating that it is a work in progress and not yet ready for review.

Closed:

Option B is correct. A pull request can be "Closed" without being merged, which might happen if the proposed changes are not needed or are incorporated differently.

Merged:

Option D is correct. A pull request that has been reviewed and approved can be "Merged" into the target branch, indicating that the changes have been successfully incorporated.

Open:

Option F is correct. An "Open" pull request is one that is active and awaiting review or further action.

Incorrect Options:

Option C (Rebasing) is incorrect because "Rebasing" is not a status; it's an operation that can be performed on branches.

Option E (Modified) is incorrect because there is no "Modified" status for pull requests.

GitHub Actions are automated workflows that can be triggered by various events on GitHub. Some common events that trigger workflows include pushes to a repository, creation of issues, and comments on discussion posts.

Triggering GitHub Actions:

Option D (Pushing to a GitHub repository) is correct because this is one of the most common triggers for CI/CD workflows.

Option F (Creating an Issue) is correct because issues are commonly used as triggers for workflows, such as automatically assigning a label or notifying a team.

Option A (Adding a comment to a discussion post) is correct because actions can be triggered by activity on discussion posts, including comments.

Incorrect Options:

Option B (Creating a new repository) is incorrect because this action typically does not trigger workflows within a specific repository.

Option C (Committing a change to a local git repository) is incorrect because GitHub Actions are triggered by events on the GitHub platform, not by local commits.

Option E (Disabling a GitHub runner) is incorrect because it is related to the environment where actions are executed, not a trigger for workflows.

GitHub Projects is a newer, more powerful version of project management within GitHub, offering enhanced features over the classic version.

Multiple Layout Views:

Option A is correct because GitHub Projects supports multiple views, such as board, table, and timeline views, allowing users to visualize their work in different ways according to their needs.

Insights:

Option B is correct because GitHub Projects provides insights and analytics, enabling teams to track progress and make data-driven decisions.

Incorrect Options:

Option C is incorrect because while GitHub Copilot is a tool for code suggestions, it is not directly integrated with GitHub Projects as a feature.

Option D is incorrect because both GitHub Projects and GitHub Projects Classic can be connected to third-party tools, so it is not an exclusive advantage of the newer GitHub Projects.
